About Me
italki teacher since Jul 16, 2021InterestsArtMedical & HealthcareEnvironment & NatureTechScience
My name is Luca, a certified German teacher (DaF/DaZ) with a background in teaching and music. I've lived in Germany, the US, Italy, and Russia, so I can also help with translations in English and Italian.
I am a patient, easy-going teacher — mistakes are very welcome in my class! Everyone has their own pace and learning style (auditive, visual, kinesthetic), so I tailor every lesson to the individual student. First, I get to know you — your interests, your goals — and then we design lessons together where boredom will be just an old memory.
My method focuses on "Redewendungen" (chunks): these allow you to speak fluently and naturally, like a native speaker, without overthinking grammar. Grammar is important, but it's a tool — not the goal. The goal is that you can speak German. Redewendungen work on a metacognitive level, meaning you'll use them automatically, without thinking.
All aspects of language learning are covered: reading, writing, listening, speaking, pronunciation, sentence melody, and intonation. You decide what kind of lesson you want — learning a language must be fun.

Education
2020 - 2021
Bachelor’s - DLL (Deutsch Lehren Lernen)I have studied music (piano and composition) and I work as a composer writing music for movies, video games and theater plays. Languages were also my passion, I have been teaching German since many years and my students were always happy with my methods. I thought I just needed a title to look more qualified and that's why I worked hard to get this certificate give to me by the Goethe Institute, the most accredited institution for German language. Teaching is my job and passion.
